Top Attractions in La Habana
💡 Free entry on Sundays. Go early to avoid the midday heat. The museum is small, so budget 45 minutes. The courtyard has clean toilets.
💡 Go at golden hour when the light hits the buildings. Bring a small bottle of rum and join the Cubans sitting on the wall, but watch for uneven concrete.
💡 Free live rumba every Sunday from noon, but arrive by 11am to get a spot. Take a taxi, not a coco-taxi, as the area gets congested. Tip the musicians a few CUP.
💡 Entry is 8 CUC (about $8). Bring cash in small bills, no card accepted. The air conditioning is weak, so carry water. Skip the guided tour; English labels are scarce but photos tell the story. Allow 1.5 hours.
💡 Free to look at the lobby and ground floor. To see the auditorium, buy a 5 CUC ticket for a guided tour (available weekdays 10am-11am). Alternatively, catch a ballet or concert, cheapest seats from 10 CUC. No photography inside during performances.
